Licenses are for Gullfaks, Gullfaks Satellites, Snorre, Statfjord, Tordis/Vigdis, and Visund.
The contract will begin 1 September 2014 and is valued at approximately US$240 million (NOK 1.15 billion) for the first two years. The contract has three optional extensions, each for two years.
The contract includes the delivery of directional drilling, measurement while drilling (MWD), logging while drilling (LWD) and mud logging services. In addition, Schlumberger Norway will deliver RT data transfer, integrated operations/onshore support, drilling optimization and drilling equipment.
